Bed Bath & Beyond

Years ago, I «discovered» Bed Bath & Beyond stores while visiting Los Angeles and Portland (Oregon) on business. My co-​worker teased me about being such a «Susie Homemaker» because I was attracted to these big stores that we didn’t have in Hawaii. I had even signed up for their online contact just so that I could still take advantage of those 20% savings and have product shipped directly to me.
Since the opening of O’ahu’s first BB&B at the Pearlridge Shopping Center in 2010 and this second store at Ward Village in 2013, I have been regularly stopping in to either purchase a specific item or just to browse to see what’s new. Thankfully, this location which is about 30,000 sq ft is smaller than its sister store. This store is logically organized with a huge inventory of home goods. They carry major brands of bedding, bath linens, towels, kitchen ware and décor items. I have always found products in this store by just asking the friendly and helpful sales associates or cashiers.
My most recent discovery is their SHEEX rayon bedding made from bamboo. Gosh, these sheets are smooth and soft. The fabric weave actually helps to regulate our body temperature by wicking away any perspiration. Ok, I admit that I’m prone to getting hot flashes so this bedding has been a game-​changer for me. Even now as we’re moving into cooler nights, these sheets are very comfortable and I dare say that we have even fallen asleep faster. Sure, these sheets are rather expensive but it’s priceless to sleep more soundly.
BB&B often sends out their catalogs with savings coupons or if you can get your savings online. It becomes more tempting to shop there because you’re saving.

Bed Bath and Beyond Ward
I have never been a Bed Bath and Beyond person. Maybe Christopher Walken is a Bed Bath and Beyond kind of person. Maybe that joke will click for you.
I just don’t get how it is organized maybe. Everywhere is stuff! Gimme a clue like how grocery stores are organized, maybe you have noticed almost no matter where you go in the country produce, meats, fish, and bakery are all along the outer wall with canned and boxed in the center. Bed Bath and Beyond just has me guessing where things are in general.
I do love looking at stuff though– I think I need a tea ball and instead I end up looking at strainers of every kind and shape but still don’t find the kind of tea ball I would like to use for loose leaf tea cause the ones they have look way too complicated to have to wash by hand each and every time.
Yes– they have mason jars for canning. But at the real price it would take less money to buy the real item at safeway than to can my own produce because the jar is more expensive.
True– I only go here to browse when I am early early to a movie and have to wait a while and I use my time to window show.
I do find it a bit much. If you haven’t noticed –I’m not a Bed Bath and Beyond kind of person found Walken around loving it– I’m a browser before movies more often than not.
I too wish that Borders had not closed– I loved sitting in the outdoor spot for coffee reading a great book before buying it. I guess I am getting older as things change faster than I would like them to — but life goes on.

Really disappointed with this branch. Went to buy a lemon squeezer and funnel. $ 15 for the squeezer and only one tiny funnel for sale. Went to Safeway right afterwards and found a different lemon squeezer for $ 7. You know I returned the other one to Bed Bath and Beyond. I’m used to larger branches with much better selections. Maybe the rest of their selections are better???

I love Bed, Bath & Beyond. I think most people will agree that this is a fantastic store where you can find nearly anything and then some. The staff is always amazing too! Plus, you can’t beat their coupon deal!!! Don’t forget to sign up via snail mail, email & text for more great coupons!
There is a draw back here… this store is «tight». I am happy there is this second location, but when I go in there I just feel «closed in». I am not quite sure if its because of their lack of space or what… and you can get carts through. But when I go to this location I just feel like I need to get in and get out. Heck… that’s probably a good thing so I don’t spend so much money.

I love this store. They have so many things I never knew I needed (and some I don’t need but could definitely use). This store is one of the anchors of Ward Village, one of the older parts of the Ward complex. It’s attached to many other stores, both chains and local alike. There are lots of great places to eat in the same area as well.
Bed Bath & Beyond is large, clean, brightly lit, and colorful. All the fun gizmos and gadgets are right at the front door. There are many cash registers and always plenty of cashiers. Kitchen related goods make up the first floor. They have nice seasonal things around the holidays, and the Hawaiian section is also nice and unique to this location. The second store (up stairs or elevator in the middle of the store), is smaller and cozier. Here you will find all the house goods including bedding. I also like the clearance racks. This is where I like to get iPhone chargers and cables– they have oodles, all at cheap prices.
Make sure to keep your eyes out for countless coupons by mail or online; they have frequent sales as well. Fun store!

I must be getting older if my idea of a fun shopping day is at BBB. Although it is a tad bit expensive, you’ll pretty much be able to find everything you need here. My shower /​bath tub doesn’t have one of those removable drain things so filling the tub for a bath is basically impossible. I searched high and low for a silicone suction plug to place on top of the drain and after a few days I found one here. OXO brand silicone bath plug for $ 10. A little more expensive than I would have liked but it was better than not having one at all.
The keurig selection here is also beauuuuutiful. We have a problem at our house because I hate decaf coffee (mostly because I drink 2 – 3 cups a day to stay awake) but my mom can’t drink caffeinated coffee because she can’t sleep. While browsing the store, we found hazelnut decaf coffee, which is hard to find anywhere else! My mom is always asking for hazelnut and everywhere we’ve gone has regular caf but not decaf. It was a little expensive for $ 11.99 but at least she can get her coffee fix. However, if you aren’t looking for anything special, sams club has pikes medium blend kcups for 30ish dollars for 54 cups. I just drink that since it’s cheaper to buy in bulk and I go through coffee so quickly.
We also bought a oscillating fan with a remote control (the round top), which is surprisingly hard to find. It was only $ 40! The one at best buy was around $ 55. They also have an endless assortment of bedding, paintings, wall clocks, candles, things for your kitchen, things for your bathroom, things for every single thing you could think of. Tried to convince my parents we absolutely NEEDED a waffle maker and a crock pot but they told me to snap out of it. I guess we don’t NEED one but everytime I come here, I feel like I need everything! Like cmon, those tiny little pyrex shot glasses with the ounce measurements on the side? Who doesn’t need those?! Well I guess you don’t NEED these things but I want it! I’m going to need a gift card from here when I get married so that I can stock up on all of these tools for my own home!
On a side note: if your bf/​husband isn’t the type to enjoy following you around while you shop, you should leave him at home when you come here. There are so many things to look at, he won’t be pleased; mine definitely was not happy with how long I took to look around… (:

Ward location. It felt a bit strange walking around since I still have a lot of memories of the old Border’s book store.
Ironically, while they have tons of stuff you don’t really need (but suddenly feel compelled to buy when you’re in there — like storage bins and organizers), each time that I’ve come here looking for a specific item, they didn’t have it.
In any case, the staff here has always been exceptionally friendly and helpful. The associates on the floor are always greeting you and asking if you need any help. Most times I don’t, but it’s nice to be asked anyway.

We visited this BB&B to purchase a gift off a registry list. One of the associates printed the registry for us and offered to have someone escort us.
We wandered around, chose what we wanted to purchase and took it back to the front to pay for it.
The associate at customer service advised us that they do FREE gift wrapping so we took advantage of that and waited about 5 minutes while their wrapper came down to make our gift look fancy.
It was a pain free shopping experience with friendly associates and lots of cool stuff to look at.

This is my very first time in the bed bath and beyond store. From the looks of it, person who just started was really helpful in telling me where I can get information about the product I wanted. I hope this will want to come to shop around for what I want to buy. I hope I can show people who has never seen this store to come and check it out. I will be coming back to this location now that there is one at ward and I am glad I checked out this location despite its sizem. Other than that I will shop at my time

I’m upgrading this puppy because today I had the BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE ever! While looking for some organization solutions with my two little ones and fake husband (yes I said I have a fake husband), I had a friendly store associate come up to ask if we needed anything. I had been looking for small childrens hangers which weren’t on the shelves and she was nice enough to find them. She then went and grabbed me a shopping cart from downstairs for all my stuff. The carts at BB&B are great because they’re two tiered so I was able to fit all my things as well as my three year old in the bottom cart (yes I said I fit my three year old in the bottom my tiny shopping cart). Thanks BB&B for helping to fulfill my neurotic organizational dreams while providing superb service.
PRO SAVERS TIP: If you have a spendy purchase make sure you sign up for their TEXT service. You get 20% off a single item and can unsubscribe at any time. Also be sure to check upstairs for the clearance items by the curtains. I found a Dyson vacuum for 50% off. #TrueStory

WORD OF WARNING — they ask for your zip code, DO NOT give it. They use this, in combination with your credit card info to match you up against other data they buy from data brokers for marketing purposes. BB&B was sued in California for this practice.
Now on to the store:
This store is smaller than the one in Aiea.
I like bed bath and beyond for kitchen and bath accessories. They have a (generally) good selection.
Like them for sheets. Don’t use them for bedding (not enough selection other then those «bed in a bag» packages that contain comforter, shams, bed skirt, etc. all in one coordinating package).

I visited a few times & each time someone was helpful. Plus they accept their coupons — even after the expiration date. KEEP ALL YOUR COUPONS! On a visit when I did an unexpected pop in & didn’t have my coupons, the cashier said to just bring everything back with my coupons & they’ll re-​ring. They did, easy peasy.

If you’re used to going to the Pearlridge Bed, Bath, & Beyond – this town location will be a huge disappointment. Parking sucks, and the store is a lot smaller and with way less selection. Many things that you would find at the Pearlridge location you will not find here. It’s really more like a Bed, Bath, & Beyond Express. Or just Bed & Bath with no beyond?
I wouldn’t mind coming back to this location if I was already in the area, but I definitely wouldn’t find myself going out of my way to come here.

In here you can find the most creative and funny items for home, personal, kitchen and everything else in between! This place is like my muse in becoming a home décor showcase designer and my very own grown up candy store. There is not a visit where my hands are empty upon leaving the store.
They carry everyday products but with something that will suit your personality! You want towels? They got small or big, strictly for body or hands, and they even carry those turban shape towels just for the hair! Need a specific garbage can to fit between your wall and refrigerator, but aesthetically pleasing to see? Well come on down the Bed, Bath and Beyond, where they carry 10 different types.
This place won’t disappoint except for the lack of finding a salesperson on the floor.

who wants to buy shower curtain with facebook loco on it. This is the place that sell all type of housewares that you might need at home.
i came to this place and they have all different product for kitchen, living room, bathroom, even balcony. I love this place. they have so many new invented product that would make your life little easier.
starts from the pots and pan to panini maker, even ice cream makers. i can go on and on about the kitchen.
they have great deal on holiday special gift package which make it great and easy to shop for Christmas. you can get coffee mug or beer glass, to card shuffler for under$ 20 which is great deal.
They have so many product that i can spend hours in this store. if you need a good product for decent price. you should def check out this place.

I love this place! I love their 20% coupons!
I purchased window coverings here and signed up for their coupons by messaging. I was told that I could save my receipt and come back every time I got a new coupon and receive credit on an additional item purchased until they had all been discounted.
I have returned three times now and have one more item to go. They have been so nice here and there has never been a problem using the coupons. They scan the coupon from my phone and I’m done. I did have to return one item and they were out of it but ordered it for me. It came in less than a week and had been expressed shipped. I was in awe! Not in Hawaii!
I also love that they carry the exfoliating bath cloths. Haven’t seen them since my time In Korea!

BBB Ward is a nice addition. The staff is quite helpful, nice assortment of merchandise… will need to spend more time there to get a good feel.
What’s nice about the BBB stores is when you have a student heading off to college, you can shop in advance, make up your list locally and pick up the items at a BBB closest to your student’s school… really great service!

This store is pretty good. The Pearl Ridge location is a 5 star in my book. So of course I’m comparing this Ward Center location with Pearl Ridge. Layout is a bit funky with the one elevator and the stairs.
Parking: OMG what are they doing here at Ward Center? I hate parking in the old Ward structure there because the spaces are so tight. The new structure across the street is not close and the area is under major construction. Hate to think what it will be like when Ward Center is fully developed.
Merchandise: Mostly the same items the best I could tell. A little more crammed together here. Strangely, to me anyway, Unilocal reviewers Shay and Rhea Cherie also mentioned the health and beauty section not being the same. That was the whole reason I wanted to come and look at this location. But, they don’t have one. They did have what I was looking for but it was sort of hidden and I had to ask for it. I wasn’t looking for makeup but I wanted this Aloe hand lotion.
This is the best hand lotion I have found for my dry hands. They only seem to have it at BB&B.
Drapes: The other really good thing about BB&B is the drapery and curtain department. If you need a window covering this place will have a low cost option for you. Custom made drapes cost a fortune. The Pearl Ridge location has dedicated staff that handle only the drapes/​curtains. They know how to estimate how many panels to buy based on your window dimensions. They have a big display and most items in stock. Looked like the same arrangement here. Do it yourself installation. This is a great service to have in Honolulu.
Service: I am always amazed by the great helpful staff at Pearl Ridge. The staff I encountered here were busy talking to each other. One guy was complaining about having to use the stairs. The lady who found the hand cream was pleasant. But, not the A team of service yet.

This store is evil. Even though there really isn’t anything I really need… this store always succeeds in making me think I REALLY need that super-​handy thing I’ve been doing without for so long.
The reason I couldn’t give this place 4 stars is because I went specifically for the make up section, but this location doesn’t have a make up section. Boo.

Their new store is located at Ward Center where Borders used to be. They have the same products as the Pearlridge location but for some reason, the selection seemed smaller. I didn’t see as much health and beauty products as the Pearlridge store has. Like the Pearlridge store, they have two floors: items for the kitchen downstairs and bed and bath products upstairs. They have an elevator to go to the 2^nd floor but they also have the same staircase that Borders had.
The employees were very friendly. We must have been greeted by 3 different employees during our visit. Overall, this is a typical Bed Bath & Beyond store with cool but pricey products. I think I prefer the Aiea/​Pearlridge store because it seems bigger and has a larger selection and the parking is less of a hassle but I live in town so for the convenience, I will probably visit this store more often.
